title: Iron(II) triflate as a catalyst for the synthesis of indoles by intramolecular C-H amination.
abstract: A practical iron-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination reaction and its application in the synthesis of indole derivatives are presented. As a catalyst, commercially available iron(II) triflate is used.
